The response on the original thread was so great that it maxed out
and won't accept any more posts, but FCAS is still accepting
members! Apply her by demonstrating proficiency in the use of foam
core board as the background for a macro or close up.

I hereby humbly submit this image as application into the hallowed halls of FCAS.

The image was taken of a corner section of the cover of a lens filter case. The material is clear acrylic plastic that was placed in front of linear polarizing gel. A circular polarizing filter was placed on the lens. (after removing it from the aforementioned case) The background is white foamcore board. The lightsource was a single photo flood directed onto the white FCB with the FCB acting as a backlight for the subject.
